Lü Tianfang unobtrusively brushed away You Chen’s hand and patted him on the shoulder in passing.
"Indeed, it’s outrageous, they don’t leave us any room to survive at all!" Lü Tianfang exclaid with a sense of shared indignation.
Then, with a shift in his tone, Lü Tianfang continued angrily, "My Lyu Family spotted this business opportunity and acquired so pharmaceutical companies amidst the chaos in the dical industry. Then, those people from the Yi Chen Group actually ca knocking, wanting to buy those companies from us. Do you think the Lyu Family lacks that bit of acquisition money? What we’re after is the future of the pharmaceutical market!"
"Then just don’t sell to them," You Chen said in a deep voice.
Lü Tianfang forced a wry smile: "If only it was that simple! If it were in the Zhou Yi District, my Lyu Family would not fear them in the least, but this is in Yizhou Province, where our business alliance’s power is sowhat weak. Moreover, Yi Chen has connections with the Five Great Martial Arts Families along the river. In this acquisition storm, the traces of the Five Great Martial Arts Families can be found. I’m worried they might adopt aggressive asures. We must be cautious, so I would like to ask for your Unchanging Valley’s cooperation."
"You an you want our Unchanging Valley to confront the Five Great Families?" You Chen looked at Lü Tianfang with an exaggerated expression.
Lü Tianfang hastened to gesture with his hands: "No, no, no, not asking Unchanging Valley to directly confront the Five Great Families, just to deter them! Let the Five Great Families know that Unchanging Valley stands with us. According to the current situation in the Fla Dragon Martial Dao World, Unchanging Valley still holds an advantage."
"Advantage?"
You Chen furrowed his brows and looked at Lü Tianfang suspiciously. Did this youngster sohow know the true strength of my Unchanging Valley? If that’s the case...
A subtle hint of murderous intent flashed in You Chen’s eyes!
"Of course, there’s an advantage!"
Lü Tianfang patiently analyzed: "I’ve also co to understand so of the current situation within the Fla Dragon Inland Martial Dao World."
"In Jiangbei lie the dominant Six Great Martial Sects, while along the river, the honor belongs to the Five Great Martial Arts Families!"
"As a Sect force, Unchanging Valley’s developnt must not be going as desired! And it is precisely this Sect identity that gives Unchanging Valley a natural protective umbrella!"
You Chen was slightly startled, then silently breathed a sigh of relief. So this youngster wasn’t aware of Unchanging Valley’s real strength but was considering from this angle!
Unchanging Valley has always proclaid itself to be a Martial Sect force and never disclosed to anyone that it was a family power. This was also a strategy considered by the old ancestor to protect the family.
After all, Martial Sects and Martial Arts Families have always been at odds. No one would suspect a family power would claim to be a Sect force, which would be disrespectful to the ancestors. But back then, the peril of the Shadow Clan reached a point of near-extermination, and You Zhengqian had no other choice!
So far, only the old ancestor of Chixiao and Jiang Chen know that Unchanging Valley is indeed the Shadow Clan of old.
For the security of the Shadow Clan, both Jiang Chen never ntioned to anyone that Unchanging Valley was actually the Shadow Clan; they only told allies that Unchanging Valley was one of our own.
"How did you co to that conclusion? Our developnt in Unchanging Valley has indeed been restrained by the Five Great Families along the river!" You Chen feigned ignorance.
The best way to dupe soone is to let them think they are much smarter than you, surpassing you by a thousandfold. That way, when you want to trick them or extract information, they are less likely to suspect you. No one would think that they’re being played by soone they consider a fool.
Because they would never imagine themselves being toyed with by soone whom they see as a fool!
"Haha!"
Lü Tianfang put on a pedagogical deanor: "Young Master Chen, in the Fla Dragon Martial Dao World, Martial Sects and family powers have always been at odds. Although Unchanging Valley cannot compare to the Six Great Sects, it definitely ranks as a first-rate Sect force. Tell , if a first-rate Sect force were oppressed by a family power, would the Six Great Martial Sects sit idly by? This is a matter of face for the Sect forces!"
"Indeed, if the Five Great Martial Arts Families oppress Unchanging Valley, the Six Great Martial Arts Sects would certainly not ignore it!"
You Chen opened his mouth with joy: "I understand now, Unchanging Valley’s show of force is to make the Five Great Families hesitate, to deter them from rashly making a move against your comrcial alliance’s pharmaceutical companies. Is that what you an?!"
"Exactly, that’s what I an!"
A sly smile curved the corner of Lü Tianfang’s mouth.
Hmph! A show of force?
Looking at Yi Chen Corporation’s current actions, that’s not sothing a re show of force can solve. There’s definitely going to be a fight, and when that ti cos...
Ha! Once you’re aboard our ship, it won’t be so easy to get off again.
Lü Tianfang felt secretly thrilled in his heart.
"In that case... this cooperation is worth considering, but..."
Worry appeared on You Chen’s face: "After all, it’s going up against the Five Great Martial Arts Families Along the River; I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to get approval from the Sect."
Lü Tianfang was slightly taken aback, a look of urgency appearing in his eyes. He didn’t consider everyone from Unchanging Valley fools; if other mbers of Unchanging Valley were to investigate, they could easily find out about the deep relationship between Jiang Family of Jincheng and Chixiao Sect.
In that case, Unchanging Valley would probably not take the risk of offending both the Five Great Families Along the River and Chixiao Sect to help him.
The reason he ca today was to catch a timing gap. He had already arranged to et with Yi Chen’s people the day after tomorrow to discuss the acquisition, just to prevent Unchanging Valley from having the ti to conduct a thorough investigation.
Moreover, he had made it clear that Unchanging Valley always had You Chen in charge of external affairs. As long as You Chen decided on sothing, Unchanging Valley would generally not question it in detail. If You Chen wasn’t stabilized and he reported back to the Sect for a decision, it could easily lead to complications.
"Young Master Chen, I can guarantee that as long as you can get Unchanging Valley to support us, I can give thirty percent of the profits to Unchanging Valley, and ten percent will go to Young Master Chen alone!" Lü Tianfang dangled the bait.
"Ten percent of the profit just for ?"
A thought flashed through You Chen’s mind and his eyes glead as he said, "How much would that ten percent be?"
Lü Tianfang gave a slight smile: "I can’t give you an exact amount, Young Master Chen, but, our comrcial alliance has acquired a third of the pharmaceutical companies in Yizhou Province, think about how much profit that involves!"
"One third of Yizhou Province..." You Chen exclaid, struggling to conceal his excitent.
"Young Master Chen, we’re talking about an imnse profit here! As long as we control these pharmaceutical companies, Jiang Chen will have to cooperate with us if he wants to monopolize the market. By that ti, the money will just be pouring in, it will be a huge profit!" Lü Tianfang lured him again.
You Chen’s eyes turned green with envy, seemingly with little stars flashing in them.
Lü Tianfang turned to glance at Chen Gang, showing a confident deanor, while Chen Gang quietly gave Lü Tianfang a thumbs up.
Lü Tianfang felt even more proud.
It looks like the big plan is about to succeed!
Ha ha ha ha...
